"The writing feeds everything else. It starts with the backbone of writing, which is preparation. Reporting, researching, and being prepared. I always tell students to use a fraction of what you discover in your story. The same approach applies to everything else."

I remember the first time I saw the band 4 Non Blondes. It was in the office at a radio station on a VHS...

"I think we decided very early in our careers — decades ago — that we were going to do it our way. And if we failed, we would never wonder, 'Gosh, I wonder what would happen if we'd done it our way.'"

"I want to do a great radio show. Now that I know how good of a team we have with The Fan, I’ve never been happier with a job in my entire professional life."

"For a while, especially with mainstream hip hop and R&B, if it was new, you could just play it and it worked. But you have to be a bit more discerning these days."
